First of all, i don´t want to give the impression im completely unhappy with my new drive (if i was i would return it again), it actually burns well, it reaches good quality scores (about 95) and so far (a very short period of time indeed) all recorded DVDs showed no evident problem, it´s just that comparing with my previous drive and looking at both quality graphics, the differences are very evident, a lot more pifs (so far all under 8 though) higher pies and higher jitters while the first drive burned with just a few pifs and lower errors and jitter with the same media, it just amazed me and i just wanted to know the precise cause of these differences (more exactly used DVDs or drive) that´s all, i think the answer would be as you said there´s no perfect combination and i will have to try it a bit more, but anyway it was more a curiosity of mine than a real problem since i think all are acceptable burns after all
